Stylish, sophisticated, and a serious performer

Clarion's NX602 navigation receiver looks great in your dash, and gives you tons of road-friendly features. Its 6.2" touchscreen is crisp and bright, and even supports "flick" operation, much like a smartphone. Onscreen icons are animated for an enhanced appearance, and can even be dragged and dropped into whatever configuration suits you.

Easy-to-read maps

You'll find your way with spoken, turn-by-turn directions, and the maps really "pop" on this Clarion's display. You can search through 15 million preloaded "points of interest" if you need to find a gas station, restaurant, hotel, or another attraction in unfamiliar territory. And the maps cover all 50 states plus Canada and Puerto Rico, so you know your route is covered.

Hands-free calls and streaming music

Built-in Bluetooth from Parrot lets you talk hands-free on your compatible phone so you can keep your hands on the wheel. When a call comes in, you can tap the screen to answer the call and hear your caller over the speakers. And you can even stream tunes if your phone or other device supports it.

Pandora® Internet radio on the road

Take your Pandora stations with you with — with your iPhone connected, you can run the free Pandora app on your phone and control it from the NX602's touchscreen. You can skip tracks, change stations, and rate songs just like you do online.

Great for your iPod®

Connect your iPod to the rear USB slot, and you'll get touchscreen control over your tunes  no adapter required. Add an optional adapter, and you can play videos from your iPod on the 6.2" screen when you're parked.

Crank your tunes, too

Clarion's powerful built-in amp does a great job driving your speaker system. You can choose from four preset tone settings, or make your own using the 3-band parametric equalizer. The subwoofer volume control lets you dial in just the right amount of bass if you've got a sub hooked up. Clarion includes a handy remote for on-the-fly changes.

Movies and more

Enjoy watching DVDs up front while you're parked, or hook up a video screen in the back so the kids can watch movies as you drive — thanks to Clarion's "2-Zone" mode, your backseat gang can watch a video while you and your co-pilot enjoy music up front.

Your options don't end there  add an optional satellite radio tuner and get the nearly endless variety of entertainment available from SiriusXM. Or add Clarion's HD Radio™ tuner for sweet digital AM/FM sound quality and the ability to tag tunes for purchasing later on iTunes®. Three sets of 4-volt preamp outputs let you add amps and subs to the mix.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Display Features

6.2" Touchscreen TFT Display: The Clarion NX602 has an
integrated 6.2" TFT widescreen display with touchscreen controls. The display
provides a high-resolution video monitor for watching your DVD videos. The
screen has a resolution of 800 x 480 (RGB) and 1,152,000 total pixels. The
display features brightness and shape (4:3 or 16:9) adjustment. The unit's touchscreen panel features interactive controls making menu navigation easy.

Note: The unit's 6.2" touchscreen is fixed and not detachable.

Touchscreen GUI with Flick Operation: The GUI (Graphical
User Interface) shows large icons that are highly visible and easily
recognizable at a glance. Feature icons are animated for an enhanced appearance,
and they can be dragged and dropped into different positions to customize the
screen. The NX602's touchscreen GUI (Graphical User Interface) supports flick
operation, so you can quickly scroll to another menu page. Since the vast
majority of functions are controllable from the touchscreen, there are only four
physical buttons (including a rotary dial) on the unit for the most basic and commonly-used functions.

Note: A screen cleaning cloth is provided to help you
keep the unit's touchscreen display clean.

Start Up Time: The NX602 has a start up time of
approximately 16.3 seconds from Off to an audio/video source screen; and another
22.8 seconds to the map screen for a total start up time of approximately 39.1
seconds from Off to the navigation map screen.

Wallpaper Backgrounds:
The NX602 includes 8 preset wallpaper
backgrounds to choose from. You can also download a custom wallpaper
background from a connected USB thumbdrive.

Brightness: You can
adjust the touchscreen monitor's brightness from 0-20.

Auto Dimmer:
The receiver's display automatically dims to a preset brightness when the
vehicle's headlights are turned on. The wiring harness includes an
orange/white lead that should be connected to the vehicle's parking light
circuit in order for the dimmer feature to operate.

Monitor Off: You can
turn the navigation-multimedia head unit's touchscreen monitor off when
simply listening to music.

Variable Button Illumination: You can set the head unit's
button illumination to 1 of 12 preset colors or have the unit scan through all
the preset colors. You can also select three custom user colors by adjusting
red, green, and blue values.

Parking Brake Detection: To prevent the displaying of video
while the vehicle is in motion, the bright green wire in the supplied 18-pin
harness must be connected to the vehicle's parking brake detection circuit.
While the vehicle is in motion (parking brake off), you can still view all of
the other displays and menus.

Anti-Theft Code: You may program the unit with a 4 digit
security code. Once the unit has been programmed with a security code, the code
must be entered to use the unit after it has been disconnected from power.

2-DIN Chassis: The Clarion NX602 has a 2-DIN chassis (also
known as "Double DIN" or size DD), and will fit in many vehicles with a large
dash opening. The unit can be
ISO-mounted using your vehicle's factory radio brackets and the supplied
hardware. There is also an
optional custom double-DIN sleeve (0202DBKT,
sold separately) available for this unit that will allow you to mount the NX602
in a custom 4" opening.

Onboard Navigation

Navigation Mapping Software: The integrated map database (by
TeleAtlas) used by the Clarion NX602 was created using high-resolution aerial and land
based data collection. Navigation data is stored on the unit's preloaded 8GB microSD-card for quick access and response. The NX602 provides map
coverage of the United States (all 50 states), Canada, and Puerto Rico. The Clarion NX602's integrated
iGo Primo navigation software provides turn-by-turn visual and voice assistance to direct
you to your selected destination. The built-in software quickly calculates
step-by-step directions to any destination available on the included navigation
map.

Note: Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While this
database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its
release, a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is
maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names may
change over time.

Map Updates: It is easy to keep the navigation system up to
date. Simply download new map data from Clarion's portal site (clarion.naviextras.com),
store the updated map data on a microSD card and insert it into the Clarion
NX602 via the front-panel microSD card slot.

Note: You have 30 days from purchase to download the latest
available map free of charge.

GPS (Global Position System):
Clarion's built-in navigation helps you find your way to your destination with
an integrated GPS receiver & external GPS antenna.
The Clarion NX602 features a built-in SiRFprima GPS receiver and includes an
external magnetic GPS antenna. The NX602 uses Global
Position System (GPS) satellites, and a digital roadway map database to
calculate and display vehicle positioning and travel direction. The NX602
considers vehicle speed an heading changes, together with longitude and latitude
information, to accurately determine vehicle heading and position on a digital
map. Signal from GPS satellites are used to determine the vehicle location.
Three (good) or four (best) satellites must be receive to accurately determine
location.

On-Screen Map: The unit's on-screen map shows your vehicle's
current position (a red arrow by default), the recommended route (an orange
line), the surrounding map area, and your destination as a checkered flag. The
on-screen map shows streets, roads, and highways in a way that is similar to how
a paper road map show them. A road's width and colors corresponds to their
importance, so you can easily tell a freeway from a small street. When
navigating a route, the top section of the map screen shows information about
your next route maneuver and the next street or the next city/town. When approaching a turn, the map screen will zoom in
and raise the view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the
next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower
the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you. The map
also displays data; such as the posted speed limit, your current speed, current
time, distance to your destination, time left before you reach your destination,
and your arrival time.

2D/3D Map Mode: The Clarion NX602 allows you to view its on-screen map
in a 2D (two-dimensional) or 3D
(three-dimensional) view. Similar to paper road maps, the 2D mode, shows you
streets, roads, and elevation by color. In 3D mode, you can see the altitude
and elevations differences. You can distinguish between valleys, mountains,
and elevated roads. In selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are
also displayed.

Color Mode: The navigation map screen uses different color themes
(Day/Night) during the day and during the night for both the map and the menu
screen. Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
The nigh color themes use dark colors for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low. You can also set the navigation unit to switch
between daytime and night color modes automatically based on the current time
and GPS position.

Lane Information: When navigation on multilane roads, it is important
to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane
information is available in the map data, the map screen will display the lanes
and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. High lighted
arrows represent the lanes you need to take.

Signposts: Where additional information is available, signposts
substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The color and
style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above the road or by
the roadside, They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.

Junction View: If you are approaching a freeway exit or a complex
intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a
3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with
arrows. Signposts can also be present, if information is available.

Tunnel View: When entering a tunnel, the map is
replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface roads and buildings
cannot distract you.

Audible Alerts: The Clarion
NX602 offers various audible alerts and functions to help you get to your
destination safely.

Voice Guidance (Text-to-Speech): In addition to graphic directions, the NX602
provides voice guidance and turn-by-turn directions. You can select from
English, French, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese audible languages. The volume of the voice prompts
can be increased with increases in speed to overcome road noise. Voice guidance
can be turned off if you prefer.

Safety Alert: This function can warn you when you approach road
safety cameras, school zones, or railroad crossings (if available). You can
also add your own alert points. Beeps or the spoken type of alert will be
heard when you are approaching of these points.

Speed Limit Warning: Some maps may contain information about the
speed limits of certain road segments. The NX602 provides an audible warning
if you exceed the recommended speed limit.

Where Am I?: This screen contains information about the current
position (or approximately the last known position if GPS reception is not
available) and a button to search for POIs nearby.

Find Menu: The Find Menu gives you many
different ways to choose your destination or insert a waypoint in your current
route. An on-screen keyboard appears to allow you to enter your destination from
one of the following categories:

Destination Search

Description

Find on Map

Search for a

Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change
functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may
need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If
this doesn't work, you may need to
wait until a newer software update is available.

Audio Section

24-bit D/A Converter: The unit's 24-bit D/A converter re-quantizes
the 16-bit audio signals from CDs and DVDs as 24-bit data while maintaining the low
distortion and high linearity of a 1-bit D/A converter. This allows an expanded dynamic
range and clearer reproduction of subtle nuances, for a richer sound when viewing DVDs
or listening to CDs.

MOSFET Amplifier: The Clarion NX602 is equipped with a
MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET
amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased
power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More
power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not
pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the NX602
are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the NX602 are as follows:

Note: You can turn the NX602's built-in amplifier off to
improve the quality of the sound from the head unit's preamp outputs.

Built-in Crossovers: The Clarion NX602 is equipped with
built-in low-pass and high-pass crossovers.

Low-Pass Subwoofer Filter: The Low-Pass Filter (LPF)
for the subwoofer preamp output will send only the low frequency range
through the preamp outputs to ensure superb performance with a connected
subwoofer. The low-pass filter can be set to 62Hz, 95Hz, 135Hz, or Through
(full-range).

High-Pass Filter: The NX602 features a High-Pass Filter
(HPF) for the unit's front & rear channels, via speaker-output or
preamp-output. You can adjust the high-pass filter from 55Hz, 85Hz, 120Hz,
or Through (full-range). The HPF prevents low bass notes from distorting
your front & rear speakers. The high-pass filter setting effects both the
front & rear channels of the head unit.

Magna Bass EX (Extend): The Magna Bass Extend feature does
not adjust the low frequencies like the normal sound adjustment function, but
emphasizes the deep bass frequencies to provide you with a dynamic sound. This
circuit boosts bass at an ultra-low frequency of about 50Hz, creating a rich,
deep, defined bass rather than the muddy, booming bass of a standard loudness
control. What is more, boost levels are dependent on the system volume,
resulting in balanced system response and dynamic bass reproduction.

AV Connection

Dual AV Inputs: The Clarion NX602 is equipped with AV input terminals on the front and
rear of the unit to enable enjoyment of content from an external connected
source. The rear composite video/stereo RCA inputs are ideal for permanent
installations, while the front AV mini-jack (3.5mm) input will come in handy for
quick connection of a portable audio/visual source.

Audio/Video Output (with Dual Zone): The NX602 features a
rear-panel composite video/stereo RCA audio output that allows you to connect an
external display and headphone system in the rear of your vehicle. You can
playback audio/video content from a Disc, iPod/iPhone, or AV 1/2 Input on a
rear-seat monitor system; while viewing a different audio/video source on the
navigation-multimedia head unit.

Camera Input: The Camera Input consists of a Composite video
RCA jack for connecting an optional rear-view back-up camera. This RCA input
enables you to connect a rear-view camera to display the area behind your
vehicle. The increased view encourages and facilitates safer driving. When an
optional rearview camera is connected to this unit, the rear view image is
displayed on the screen when your vehicle is placed in reverse gear
(purple/white wire of harness must be connected to reverse light wire of
vehicle). Automatic video switching takes approximately 1.0 seconds.

Note: Audio from your music source will continue
playing, while the back-up camera is displayed.

Remote Control

Wireless Remote Control: In
addition to the unit's touchscreen and hard-key controls, the NX602 comes
supplied with an IR remote control for wireless operation of the
navigation-multimedia receiver and your connected devices. The remote control
operates off of a single CR2025 Lithium-cell 3V battery (included).

OEM Remote Ready: The unit also features an OEM steering
wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit to allow you to keep your
vehicle's radio steering wheel remote controls when used with the optional PAC
SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface Adapter (541SWIRC,
sold separately); or the optional Metra ASWC Steering Wheel Control Interface
Adapter (120ASWC,
sold separately).

Clarion NX602

This is a great double din unit. I recently replaced my factory unit with this one. Sound quality is clearer and once you set the customizable EQ all the tones become more rich and probably a little better than factory. Crutchfield support was fantastic when asked about steering wheel control interface. Clarion support was very good about providing detailed instructions on how to update maps. The map update improved the GPS markedly and is now close to detail of a Garmin stand alone. That being said not much if anything is better than a premium Garmin unit; which is what I used previously. All software updates to unit were easy when Clarion directions were followed. You will have to update firmware on unit for some minor bug fixes but nothing that affects overall performance. Moving forward and backwards within iPod tracks is a little slow but manageable. Buy from Crutchfield in order to avoid the cost of $75 worth of installation gear. So far the unit has worked a little better than anticipated and I would recommend it. If you want something that performs better, than be prepared to pay upwards of $700 to $1000 dollars. If you read all the reviews you will find complaints and trade offs for any unit so why spend $1000 plus on a Pioneer or Kenwood. One more thing you should know, there are no voice controls on this unit. Great unit and even better now that all the updates have been done.

Pros:Price, features, free install gear with purchase, good support from Cruthfield and Clarion.

Very Pleased with system and Installation

Written By Keith, Bennettsville, SC on Friday, February 21, 2014

Installation was very simple. Even with the small modification that had to be done on 2003 ford sport trac. The system is simple and easy to use. Installation is very easy with provide hardware. Took about a hour total, provide wiring harness made thing simple. System is very much worth the price for a good quality double din system that has every thing built in. Looks like a factory install when done. Very much recommend this system!!

Pros:Very easy installation, great system that has every thing you want or need in one unit. Very good Quality System!

Cons:Information sheet on installation of bracket orientation needs to be clear, as to position. if I had to say anything.

Great stereo with one small catch: it died

I bought this unit despite a couple of negative reviews because it offers a lot of features for the price.

Pros: Overall, the stereo has been outstanding. Sound quality is great; it really woke up my factory speakers once I tweaked the EQ, as really any aftermarket head unit will do. It has all the I/O you could want. It's pretty. Tons of customizability. Navigation is highly adjustable to your preferences, especially if you're used to using Google Maps on your phone. If you're a smart guy like me, you will have trouble doing the initial free map update due to the required PC software not "recognizing" the SD card you bought for it. That's because it has a second card, a micro-SD card, that you didn't notice immediately next to the standard SD card slot. The micro-SD card is for the maps/software, and the standard slot is for your media. Hopefully you already have a micro-to-standard SD adapter that you use for your phone.

Cons: When playing mp3's, it displays artist/title info from the song's tags, but adds a "T" to the end of everything. This is a minor annoyance. During week three, the unit froze, and was unable to reset. There were absolutely no problems with it prior to this happening. Crutchfield's fantastic customer support is what kept me from rating this down further. Three day turnaround to receive the replacement. I hope to have better luck with the new one because I really like this head unit. It would have received 5 stars from me if it had been more reliable.

Clarion Nx602 review

I have been very impressed with this unit so far. I have only had it for about 3 weeks but haven't had any problems yet. The nav is very responsive and accurate. The output sound quality over my stock unit is pretty impressive. I would definitely recommend purchasing this unit for the money.

Pros:Price, functionality

Cons:Need better operating instructions, Android systems cannot use the Pandora app, with Android you have to use the unit to Bluetooth you cannot Bluetooth from your phone first.

Pretty Sick

Written By Lance, Baraboo, WI on Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Amazing unit bought this for my H3. I installed it myself, and I have to say that all the features this thing offers all work really well. I noticed people on here saying the user interface is horrible. NOT TRUE! Paired my phone (Samsung S3) in 5 seconds and had everything setup the way I wanted in 15 minutes. People just give up way too easy these days. Sound Quality is great, whether it be IPOD or Radio. Ipod conntection is pretty quick and not too hard to navigate, comes with USB cord thats IPOD ready. This unit is HD radio ready but the part is sold seperate. Same with Sirius. If you do not get the HD Radio Adapter it will not show song titles or music info. BLuetooth works great, No need for the mic extension, nobody can tell Im on a bluetooth. Backup cam works well too(dont buy cheap cameras). GPS works well is very accurate, quick, and DOES know speed limits on most roads just not all of them. GPS updates are easy to load and the price is pretty normal. DVD video quality exceeded my expectations and SD card loaded movies pretty fast as well. Lot of cool settings and customization for this unit. Overall very pleased with my purchase! SW updates for the unit itself seem a little complicated but should be managable. Mounting went smooth too, I used Metra mounting kit and Metra GM Onstar and Chime restore kit. Rarely give anything 5 stars but this is a winner.

Cons:Phone icons could be bigger as well as icons in other modes. i.e ipod and radio.

Decent stereo for the money

Overall, I find this to be a good head unit. The sound quality is excellent, and it has plenty of connection options. With Crutchfield's adapter, it slid right into place (though removing the old stereo was a real pain in my Jeep Wrangler). The navigation software itself is decent and gets you where you need to go. However, when compared to Garmin, it leaves a lot to be desired. Also, the lack of traffic updates is a bit of a letdown. Also, I've yet to figure out a quick way to detour around a backup. If it's in there, it's not obvious.

The one issue I had with the unit that was not documented in either Clarion or Crutchfield's documentation was that if you hook up the Reverse sensor wire and don't have a backup camera attached, it will not boot up. It just displays "No Signal" from the start. It finally took a call to Clarion to figure this out. I cut the reverse wire going into the stereo and everything started working.

The user interface is decent if a bit slow. Sometimes it seems to miss the fact that you're touching the screen. The swipe method is cool, but not nearly as seamless or natural feeling as an iPhone.

Ok for the price

This is a basic unit without all of the bell and whistles a higher price unit would have. The maps lack a lot of detail I have been used to on my smart phone. No traffic info. The unit doesn't know the speed limits or most of the points of interest. The radio doesn't display any song info.

Bad Interface

Written By RobertT, Oklahoma City on Friday, October 26, 2012

I agree with DaveM on the un-user interface. It's awful. I'm a geek too, but I must have spent hours trying to figure out how to automatically pair my phone with the unit. But even though I figured that out the unit never actually notifies me that it's connected to my phone via bluetooth. I have no idea really. So I have to go into "phone" to see. This is just one example. To be honest it's a pain in the butt to deal with it. I'm really just going to add backup camera, sirius xm and then probably sell this unit and go with a different one. I was kind of fooled by people falling in love with the navigation. That's nice but is there really anything more important than user experience? To be honest I want a unit that has BUTTONS I can click to get to what I want. I want a unit that moves fast in between the different media channels. I'd like one that tells me if a phone is paired or not. This one just sort of sits there. Argh.. Also - the bluetooth streaming does not work with my Galaxy Note phone. Chances are it won't work for yours unless it's an iphone. Everyone kisses Iphone's you know what. The rest of us get crumbs. So obviously I'm not enthused. I'm rather disappointing.

Nice technology, poor user interface

The technology in this unit is clearly amazing, but the less-than-usable user interface gets in the way, all the time. There are so many little annoying quirks to the user interface. For example, you can't turn off Sirus/XM parental locking. You can turn it off each time the radio turns on (Sirius -> Options -> right arrow -> Lock -> enter code -> scroll down 100 channels to the ones you want to unlock -> unlock each channel -> Lock), but you have to do that EVERY TIME. The radio will take you out of the middle of that long sequence if a navi alert comes up, too, and then you have to start all over. Configuring screens is tricky.

The software updates are hard to understand. Clarion has three different updates for me, but they are strangely named and don't tell you what they fix or update.

The free map update promised requires a PC (no Macs, unless you run Windows in a VM), downloading a piece of software, and then running that software while the computer is connected to the radio! Yikes.

So, while it's a cool unit with lots of features, it's a constant PAIN to navigate the controls. It's like the engineers designed the best radio they could, but never had an actual consumer use the controls in a real car to see how usable it is.

Pros:Lots of great technology, lots of interfaces.

Cons:User interface gets in your way all the time.
Sirius/XM parental locking cannot be turned off between power cycles.
Free map update requires the radio powered up while connected to an internet-connected computer!

Great Product!

Install went very smoothly. Like Ben said the screws were too small. Luckily I had some spares sitting around. Sound quality over my stock stereo was amazing. It's a lot of bang for your buck!

Pros:Bluetooth works seemlessly
Great sound quality
Price
Intuitive menus
Navigation is quick and maps look good even though it's not a well known brand

Cons:Radio reception was horrible and I thought I had a bad unit. After some research this is a big problem with all Subaru's. The wire that powers the antenna amp is left unused with the current schematic. It needs to plugged into the harness or spliced into a 12V switched wire.

Clarion NX602

The head unit is really nice and works great. The install went almost as expected. The screws provided with the head unit were too short to mount the mounting bracket. It was more the fault of the bracket because it was a 1/4" plastic piece, which made it too thick to be able to grab the threads in the head unit. Otherwise, pretty much as expected. I would highly recommend this unit.

Pros:Bluetooth connects well and sounds good on both ends. Sound clarity is great with my upgraded speakers. Navigation is nice especially since the antenna is actually under my dash rather than on top of it. Many features, most of which I still have to figure out, very customizable. DVD works well too.

Cons:Glare can make it hard to see the screen if the sun hits it right. The touch screen is not iPhone quality in feel or performance, but works as expected.

Astounded by the sound quality

Written By Ronzues, Nashville, TN. on Thursday, June 21, 2012

I had the Kenwood KIV-BT901 and decided to get a unit that included gps instead. I cannot be more happy with this unit. The Kenwood had so many settings for shaping the sound but I could never get anywhere near the sound quality from it that I get from this Clarion. Love the touch interface though it can be hard to see when the sun is real bright. Also, the bluetooth functionality is far more stable than the Kenwood and the built in mic works better than the external mic that was required with the Kenwood. Believe me, I have always been a Kenwood fan but model for model, this one blows away the Kenwood that I had. IMO, the gps is better than any Garmin that I have ever had.

Pros:Sound quality is astounding, interface is elegant, works reliably with bluetooth devices.

Cons:Hard to see in direct sunlight, touch screen is a little difficult to use for scrolling through songs.

Clarion NX602

The unit is superb and functions wonderfully. Stable OS and clean interface. Sounds great and does everything I need it to do, and then some. The SiriusXM and Nav System operation is a bit cryptic, but can be understood with a little time in the manuals. The only things that keep this from being a 5-Star rating, is the missing critical details of how to properly update the nav system and the lack of detail for the location/color of the parking break circuit wire in the Crutchfield Master Sheet. I was able to get the proper PB wire identified by calling Crutchfield Tech Support, but it would have been better to just have included it on the paper. Did not purchase HD Radio module. I highly recommend this unit!

Pros:Great initial quality. Fast and sleek. Terrific buy for the money. Much more richly featured than other other makers. SiriusXM integration was more than simple. Separate cables included for all peripheral device interfaces.

Cons:Unclear and incomplete documentation available for updating the nav system. Using SiriusXM and the Nav System is a bit cryptic, but can be figured out (this really isn't a con, but it needed mentioned).

CLARION NX602

Written By R, Chicago, IL on Saturday, May 12, 2012

I was debating between ths NX602 and the Kenwood DNX6190HD or DNX6990HD. I don't care about HD radio. The Clarion NX602 is a fantastic radio. Once you figure out all the settings, it is then very user friendly. Nav works perfect, sound is fantastic, love the bluetooth. Also listen to Sirius/XM radio on this radio with no complaints. I prefer the Clarion display over the Kenwood, price on the Clarion is unbeatable. The 3D nav is better then I thought, speed of nav and changing settings is much better then last year.
